From High Tech to Healthcare and the Arts to Education,
Employment Opportunities Abound!

As the seat of State government, home to a major university, a hotbed of high-tech development, and a cultural hub, the greater Madison area offers exciting employment opportunities in virtually every field.

The area's two largest employers are the State of Wisconsin and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. However, the area is steadily growing beyond governmental employment opportunities to a consumer services and high-tech base - especially in the biotech, computer, health and communications sectors. Many businesses are attracted to Madison's exceptional skill base, taking advantage of the area's high level of education.

As a result, the local economy is both robust and resilient, boasting one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. Combined with its consistently high rankings as one of the country's most desirable places to live, Madison and its surrounding communities are attractive destinations for anyone seeking a rewarding career.
